From the Archive

For as long as there have been roads, there have been work zones.

Smooth roads are a top ADOT priority and they have been for some time, even back in 1968 when these photos were taken…

Take a look back at what traffic school was like in 1973.

ADOT was at the 1968 Arizona State Fair and we'll be there this year, too.

If you traveled in time, back to 1974, this logo is the one you’d see representing the Arizona Department of Transportation.

Back in May of 1980, ADOT marked National Transportation Week with this outstanding exhibit that was displayed inside Phoenix's Central Library.

The photo was taken in December 1978 and, according to our notes, was snapped on I-15 near the Cedar Pocket exit.

Today's "From the ADOT Archives" post showcases a piece of equipment used decades ago.

Taken in 1979 at 19th Avenue and the Salt River in Phoenix, these pictures in today's blog post show an area before and during a pretty intense-looking dust storm.

These photos are almost 41 years old and show us that on Sept. 20, 1972, the Arizona Highway Department (now known as ADOT) held a public meeting in Camp Verde to discuss Interstate 17.

How important are all the signs posted along Arizona’s highway system? Well, we’d literally be lost without them.

Isn’t it interesting to see that a production crew was filming the state’s roads back in January 1978?

Earlier this week we told you about the ADOT spring auction happening 8 a.m. on April 6 at the ADOT Equipment Services yard, 2350 S. 22nd Ave. in Phoenix ...

ADOT has been constructing roads in Arizona for a long time, but technology and methods sure have changed along the way. Want some proof? Just look at these photographs!

The State Fair has been an Arizona institution since before Arizona was even a state. It got its start 128 years ago when a group of early settlers worked together and planned an event featuring agricultural exhibits, home economic displays and even some pony races, according to the Arizona State Fair’s official website.
